Who buys packaging in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a major bulk port, handling coal, minerals, timber products and other cargo, and the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone supports processing and manufacturing. Around Empangeni, sugar cane, timber and pulp mills and smelter-related industries shape what is packed and shipped. Local businesses use bulk bags, sacks, pallet wrap, strapping and heavy-duty cartons, while shops and food sellers in Empangeni and Richards Bay buy bags, takeaway containers and courier packaging. Packaging suppliers serving the area are often based in Richards Bay and Empangeni, with larger orders coming from Durban. Hot, humid summers and salty air affect board and tape, so moisture-resistant and weather-rated packaging is worth asking for.
